SAILING OCEAN FOX

Five years ago Carla and I were lying on our sunbeds, lapping up the Caribbean sun. At the time we were just two days into our marriage when, with a piña colada in her hand, Carla turned to me and asked “how about we sell the house, buy a boat and go sailing?”I thought about it for all of two seconds and said “yes.”

Fifteen months later we were sitting on our own 40’ catamaran, Ocean Fox, for the very first time. We were going on an adventure.

And that is how our journey started. From there we would travel 25,000 nautical miles during the first thirty months through the Mediterranean, across the Atlantic and back to Europe. In all, we’ve visited forty-seven different countries and more islands and cays than stations the New York Subway system has to offer.
